Over the years, I've gotten my nails done at all kinds of salons where I've lived... Small neighborhood nail spots, high end beauty salons, and specific nail techs that came highly recommended by friends and family. But Krsti, by far, has been my favorite experience.
Walking into my appt, I really did think I knew exactly what I wanted done, based on past experience. But it very soon became clear to me that she wasn't just an ordinary, experienced nail lady.... She is truly an artist at heart, and is clearly dedicated to perfecting her craft. I felt like I walked into an art studio, This isn't just a job that pays the bills for her, she IS her work, strives to give you her best, respectfully improves on the ideas you bring to her, and she knows her worth. She makes it clear what you're paying for, and is confident in delivering her best work.
...I love that she knew she could do better than what I thought I wanted, and as a lover of art myself, and all its mediums, she got me excited to be a canvas for her creativity. And I have no doubt that if I would have insisted on my own boring ideas, or whatever I absolutely knew I wanted, she still would have honored my wishes, and done an exceptional job!
The 1 on 1 service she gave surpassed any salon experience I've had. The private session just felt more comfortable and disarming. Her station was neat, organized, properly cleaned, she was gloved and masked, and before we started she made sure to show me where she had her qualified license clearly displayed.
The part I truly enjoyed and appreciated was how knowledgeable she is about nail construction and how that particular application was going to guarantee the most strength and longevity. ...to the extent that she actually guarantees her nails for the first week. I'm really rough with my hands and usually aren't very careful...I even had a couple close calls and thought Id surely popped a couple off or chipped somethin but, It's been a week and a half and they still look and feel perfect.
Krsti is a true pro. Im super excited for my next appt! read more
